As part of Remember Nature 2025, join artist Nancy Odufona for an experience that begins with a gentle walk along Bexhill Promenade and the beach.
Participants will pick up pebbles while listening to the sounds of the waves, feeling the wind, and noticing the shapes, colours, and textures of each one, gathering small impressions of the coastline. The walk is followed by a workshop where you’ll use oil pastels and watercolours to draw from your chosen pebbles, exploring their forms and surfaces. Together, these drawings will be assembled into a collaborative mural, creating a shared record of the coastline and the experience of the day.
Participants will use pebbles found on the beach during the workshop to make drawings and will return them to the same spot afterwards. No materials will be taken away from the site.
